Emerging story
Recently, accounts and pages on social media platform X have circulated a photo and a video claiming to depict the solar eclipse of April 8, 2024.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the circulating video and image and found the claim to be misleading.
Misbar's team found that the video dates back to July 2019. This total solar eclipse was visible from small parts of Chile and Argentina just before sunset.
The team also found that the image was published on Shutterstock in January 2017. Similar images were also available on the website, all published in 2017.
